Heathcliff

When I first read the blurb for this book I was really intrigued, Wuthering Heights was the first classic that I read when I was younger and I remember being completely captivated by the characters and the storyline so this book really sounded like something I would enjoy – and I was right! It was a really good read and I think one of the things that stood out for me the most with the book is the way in which the author wrote it. She really tried to make the story feel authentic, she managed to fill in blanks that probably I never even thought about when I first read the book but now looking back I can see them. I was really impressed with the book as a whole.
I am pretty sure that all fans of Wuthering Heights (and possible readers who haven’t read it) would enjoy this book, it was a great read and one that I thoroughly recommend!

As a massive fan of Wuthering Heights, my favorite book of all time, I approach retellings or reimaginings with caution. But I wasn’t disappointed because this story felt authentic and was well written. I’d always wondered about what Heathcliff did when he was away for those three years and this story fills in the blank as a reasonable explanation.
I’m definitely going to be reading more by Sue Barnard.
